Bethan Powell MD Kaiser Permanente Northern California Gynecologic Oncology Program Lead, Kaiser Permanente Northern California Hereditary Cancer Risk Program I have nothing to disclose Key Recommendations Who Should be Considered for Hereditary Cancer Risk Assessment: HBOC Syndrome? Take a basic family history Refer to a multidisciplinary hereditary women s cancer risk center if available Provide follow up care and support for early menopause Identify family members who may benefit from testing Young age Multigenerational cancers Personal history of non-mucinous ovarian cancer or breast cancer under age 50 Multiple cancers, bilateral breast Male breast cancer Ashkenazi Jewish

FDA safety communication Sept 7, 2016 Risk Reducing surgery: BSO The FDA is alerting women about the risks associated with the use of tests being marketed as ovarian cancer screening tests. The Agency is especially concerned about delaying effective preventive treatments for women who show no symptoms, but who are still at increased risk for developing ovarian cancer. Based on currently available information, the FDA recommends against using currently offered tests to screen for ovarian cancer. 80-90% reduction in ovarian cancer 69% reduction all cause mortality NCCN guidelines recommend at age 35-40 Breast cancer risk reduction??50? Re-analysis of four papers, no protective effect on breast cancer,? Small protective effect if premenopausal.

Should Hysterectomy be performed with RRSO? Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy in women with BRCA mutations PROS Ensures removal of all tube Simplifies hormonal management Increased risk of uterine cancer with BRCA1 Tamoxifen Other gyn pathology CONS Increased risk, cost, hospitalization No reports of cancer in cornual portion of fallopian tube Endometrial cancer can be detected in early stage with vaginal bleeding If a young woman is not ready for men0pause or may even want the possibility of a child What about removing the tube first and removing the ovaries at a later time? Shu C, JAMA ONCOL 2016 Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy Remove all fimbrial attachments Pros Avoid a portion of pelvic serous cancers Avoid premature menopause Option when patient will not agree to RRSO Maintain option for IVF pregnancy Cons Two stages to surgery Result in a delay of removing the ovaries May not be as effective as removing both tubes and ovaries No reduction in breast cancer risk
Long term health outcomes Recommendations after RRSO Early menopause Increase in osteopenia/osteoporosis 70% Cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia 30% Menopausal symptoms Hormone replacement therapy after BSO in women without breast cancer, stopping by age 45-50. Sexual symptom, decreased pleasure and satisfaction and increased dyspareunia.

Using genes to guide therapy BRCA related ovarian cancer 18% of ovarian cancers have germline mutations (Norquist, 2015) 30% of sporadic ovarian cancer had methylation of BRCA1 (Turner Nat Rev Can 2004) Sporadic ovarian caners also have impaired repair of DNA by the homologous recombination (HR) pathway Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors target DNA repair Improved prognosis and response to platinum Median survival: 55.7 vs 37.9 (Chetrit, JCO 2007) Improved response to liposomal doxorubicin, trabectedin, mitomycin C. Improved response to PARPi: HRD PARP Inhibition The future: Population-Based Screening Olaparib: in BRCA mutated ovarian cancer Platinum sensitive: 69%RR Platinum resistant: 45% Platinum refractory: 23% (Fong, JCO 2010) Olaparib 41% RR in BMOC vs 24% in Sporadic Olaparib maintenance in BMOC: PFS 11.2mo vs 4.8mo placebo no diff in OS (Gelman Lanc onc 2011 Ledermann, NEJM 2012) Mary Claire King: Lasker Award: JAMA, 9-2014 Women do not benefit by practices that protect them from information regarding their own health. They should have the choice to learn if they carry an actionable mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2.
